  • Notes 
    • This is the only child of James and Mercy Nutt for which I have been able to locate a marriage. Mathew John married Frances Spicer on 25 November 1838 and had five children.

      In 1841 the family lived on North Lane and Matthew worked as a mariner. By 1851 the family had moved to Kingshead Quay. Matthew was off at sea and his father, James, then widowed, was living with the family.

      Between the time of Matthew John's death and the 1871 census the family unit had disintegrated. Frances was working as a housekeeper for Henry Walker, a painter on Partridge Lane, and the children had all dispersed.
